Abstract:
In 1809, the father of American ornithology Alexander Wilson took a tour of the South, including North Carolina, to collect information about local birds and drum up subscribers for his extensive and costly book series, 'American Ornithology.' His success in both collecting bird data and subscribers in the South all but assured the success of the book series.
